Immunohistological study of the anterior pituitary gland ? pars distalis and pars intermedia ? in dwarf mice

Abstract
This immunohistological study of the anterior pituitary gland in Snell-Bagg dwarf mice demonstrates a total absence therein of somatotropic, prolactin and thyrotropic cells. Gonadotropic, melanocorticotropic, LPH- and endorphin-positive cells are well developed; they appear to be hypertrophied and more numerous than in normal animals.
